Innova is now charging $18-19 for stock Champ/Star discs, so the price hike has been universal.

DM could probably save money and use ch1nese plastic. Oh, hey- anyone know where Innova sources their plastic?

Bunch of plastic racists on these boards nowadays ;)

I recall DM saying something about that (somewhere in this thread maybe) and that once they can count on shipping by sea the prices will come down.

But....maybe they won't. I mean, if players are paying the current prices and discs are selling, why lower the price?

I’m surprised that nobody is looking at DM’s latest releases and price points from the economics of player sponsorship.
Eagle is one of the top/elite disc golfers around and DM needs to keep him, I think, to remain relevant in today’s market.
That means DM needs to get $$ in Eagle’s pocket…
Eagle can reasonably expect to be compensated at Paul and Ricky’s level, because he wins, has a following and he moves plastic!
So the Rainmakers and IS3s are very much benefiting Eagle, as they should. DM has spent a lot of money getting the factory up and running, so these releases are intended to keep Eagle compensated while they get their supply chain issues ironed out.
It all makes perfect sense.
Jussi is no dummy…

@discmania_support any hints as to what's next after the fd, mutant, splice drops?

+1 hey Discmania, If you want to bump the Envy out of my bag, make a premium plastic P2.

I’m TRYING to shape a Discmania-only bag this season, but it’s not easy with the production holes and availability (totally my choice, I know. Not complaining. Just something fun I’m trying to work through).

But I ain’t gonna lie, listening to Eric Oakley reference the Imperial Eagles of old while describing the new glow P-blend Alpaca that is coming out soon makes it vvveeerrrryyyy tempting.

Later on they were more like 0 turn and up to 2 fade, this includes both the swirly run they said was overstable and a later regular run.

I wanted to keep throwing the FD, but had to switch to the River because of this.

Are online retailers limited to the same release TIME as the Discmania website? I know they can’t sell until the date, but didn’t know about time.

I’m only saying DM could make them cheaper if they wanted, lol

You have been niced by Discmania Support :)



Lots are being made right now, you're going to love them! ETA in the next couple months or so but we'll keep you posted



Sky God will certainly be among the first of the upcoming releases for sure. Rainmaker as well





Imitation is the best form of flattery ;)



April Jewels will definitely return but it's not likely to happen this time around. We want to make sure it's a treat and have already begun planning for 2023



You just might get your wish. It won't be a full production release but we've got some tricks up our sleeve
